The big, rectangular, almost flat, black pan is the trans pan.

I'm on First and First. How can the same street intersect with itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe.

There isn't a "transfer case pan" exactly; the multiplate transfer clutch that connects to the rear driveline uses the same ATF as the transmission.

The three drain plugs, in front-to-back order, are for engine oil, front differential oil, and transmission oil. I think.
